I'm 37 and 8 weeks post partum with my second child. Since the birth of my son, via c-section - I'd been having bloody diarrhea. I checked in with my doctor about
4 weeks after birth and we tested for many infections and everything came back negative. My doc referred me to a specialist, which was booked up for more than a month. My appointment is still scheduled for next Wednesday.
Last week, I started to have constant abdominal pain and brought myself to the ER on Thursday morning. It is Monday night and I'm still here, but hoping to go home tomorrow. The CT showed that my entire colon was inflamed with thickened walls.
I've been on cipro and flagyl along with a steroid and Asacol (3 pills 4x a day). I've just moved back up to soft foods and have been mostly pain free today. Yea! Still have the D, but with very less bleeding, so I'm hopeful that someday we will move back to something resembling solid (how long will that take?!)
My doc has said he will send me home on presnazone (sp?), the asacol, and another drug that they don't carry in the hospital - I think maybe Lotronex.
I'll have a colonoscopy in the coming weeks to confirm the diagnosis - but wanted to introduce myself and thank all in advance for your suggestions and help as I try to figure out how to deal with all this while chasing around a 2.5 yo and a 2 month old, oh and returning to work full time the end of September! 
So much for my wonderful timed maternity leave during the summer. Ha!
